Southeast Asian Pork Meatball Curry

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water(for the rice) and a generouse pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.

• Meanwhile, combine pork mince, the egg, fine breadcrumbs and garlic & herb seasoning in a large bowl. • Using damp hands, take heaped spoonfuls of mixture and shape into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

• Add coconut milk, the brown sugar, soy sauce and the water (for the curry) and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Return meatballs to the pan, then add roasted veggies and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and stir to combine.
